Morphological variation. A few females and all males showing some blackish areas on the mesoscutum ( Figs 37–38 ).

Comments. The examined specimens fit reasonably well in the key and description provided by Aguiar and Ramos (2011). The specimens with blackish areas reported here make this species even more similar to D. campygeus Aguiar et Ramos. Nonetheless , the diagnostic features originally proposed for both remain stable.
